$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 5 families in Highland, MD

Hello, my name is Wunmi, and I'm delighted to meet you! I'm new to the region and looking for my next babysitting job with a great family. I’m a kind, compassionate and trustworthy individual with a heart for children. I enjoy spending time with children because I adore seeing the world through their eyes. My child care experience spans all age groups, from infancy to adolescence. Activities done with children depend on their age and interests, some examples include playing in the park, hiking, singing, painting, and visiting the farm. I prefer to keep them engaged in order to keep their screen time to a minimum. When caring for a child, I also make an effort to put my phone away as much as possible so that I can give them my undivided attention. I’m looking forward to finding the next family that I’ll be working with both short and long-term. It’s important that we both feel we’re the right match for one another, so I appreciate you taking the time to read through my bio. I hope we connect soon. My references are available upon request.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
